*Pay is laughable for the area: cost of living in Denver is terrible. I shouldn't have to struggle to pay for a one bedroom apartment as skilled labor. Inflation is only making things worse.
*Logistics is a mess: we are often waiting on parts and kits due to organizational bottlenecks, and lack of backshop personnel. We're basically building kits on the floor now.
*Terrible upper management: the office workers are clueless on what's going on on the floor, they only see in dollars & hours. Communication is nonexistent, our immediate managers are ignored. Deadlines are almost always missed due to cooperate over promising on contacts, and expecting the floor to work perfectly and tirelessly to meet it.
*Retention and morale are low: people are leaving for greener pastures as fast as they can. Only the people who have serious roots in the community are staying, like families.
